New Reporting Group When Auditing on Faculty Financial Reporting (FFR) Owner Worktags    
To audit transactions for FFR Owner, run the following reports on a regular basis. This will identify transactions missing or with mismatched FFR Owner worktags for FFR Reporting. Reports can be run together or in a funding type like Grant or Gift. Use Cost Center Hierarchy in the Organization prompt to pull all FFR Owners in the hierarchy. Then review to determine missing or mismatches for FFR Owner worktags on Journal Lines and Budget Lines as compared to the default set up on the funding type (Grant, Gift, Non-Carryforward or Non-Capital Project). If a transaction is missing FFR Owner or mismatched, then the FFR balance for that driver worktag is not correct on the FFR dashboard. Log into Collibra to review functional area and associated business terms with definitions for each report.
